info_outlineReady to quiet the noise of “shoulds” and finally carve out a career that feels right for YOU? Beth sits down with career coach Eliana Goldstein for a real-talk conversation about career changes, burnout, and why the so-called “dream job” might actually be holding you back. Eliana opens up about her own pivot from the world of ad sales to building a thriving coaching practice, and sharing the messy, human side of change that no one posts on LinkedIn. She and Beth dive into the realities of burnout, the sneaky ways imposter syndrome creeps in, and how societal pressure convinces us we’re “behind” when in truth, everyone’s path looks different. Together, they unpack why success is never as linear as we imagine, and why that’s actually a good thing. They talk about the power of self-reflection, making small but intentional shifts, and leaning on relationships to navigate big transitions. Most importantly, they remind us that fulfillment doesn’t come from chasing someone else’s timeline, but from aligning our work with our personal values and embracing our unique journey.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re on the “wrong path” or questioned if it’s too late to make a change, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe, reset, and redefine success on your own terms.
